Systems and methods for providing security, integrity, binding, maneuverability, and labeling for a plurality of papers, and for covering, protecting, and concealing the recording, viewing, or using personal, private, and nonpublic information on the page. The system includes an un-releasable locking binding device and tamper-evident binding device configured to connect, secure, and papers, which can substantially rotate 360 degrees, fold back upon itself, lie flat when open, and deter and prevent removal and insertion of pages, be tamper evident, and covering devices releasably positioned to cover personal, private, or nonpublic information located on the page. The bound plurality of papers can include an identification label and can be configured as a secure Notary journal notebook having all NonPublic Personal Information (NPPI) fields for a single record on the left or right page and an acronym list.

There is provided a sheet-like article with a string enabling use in two use forms (a first use form and a second use form). A sheet-like article 1 with a string has a first use form and a second use form. The sheet-like article 1 with a string includes a sheet-like main body 2, and a string body 4 inserted into holes 3 of the main body 2. In the sheet-like article 1 with a string, change from the first use form to the second use form is possible by pulling of the string body 4.

A concealment device, system, and method for concealing printed matter are described. The concealment device features a translucent colored material having a color that corresponds to a first color of printed matter that is configured inside or behind the concealment device so as to be positioned adjacent to and beneath the colored material. The printed matter is concealed when viewed through the colored material from outside the concealment device. The concealment device can be an envelope, a magazine, or a booklet. The concealment system includes the concealment device and a printed item that is coverable by the concealment device. The printed item includes printed matter having a first color that corresponds to a color of the colored material. The printed matter is not visible when viewed through the colored material from outside the concealment device.

To solve the problem of requiring a number of fabrication steps for making a printed matter formed with protrusions and depressions and having its protruding portions decorated with metal foil. A printed matter according to the present invention includes: a sheet or base paper; a printed layer printed on a surface of the sheet or base paper with ink containing releasing agent; a graphic formed on a surface of the printed layer with ink or resin that adheres to the printed layer; and a metal foil applied only on a surface of the graphic via adhesive having a property of not adhering to the printed layer but adhering to the graphic formed of ink or resin.

A system for deploying and selectively inflating a thoracic aortic balloon at a desired location within the thoracic aorta for resuscitative aortic occlusion, inferior to the left subclavian artery, without the aid of fluoroscopy is described. Using CT imaging data, a distance between readily identifiable and consistently located external landmarks of torso extent is measured. Next, using the same data, a second distance from the femoral artery to a desired aortic occlusion location inferior to the left subclavian artery is determined. A correlation between the external measure of torso extent and the desired intra-arterial (i.e. endovascular) distance within the torso is made. Using a nomogram, a calibrated endovascular resuscitative thoracic aortic occlusion system can be positioned to this desired location on any injured individual with end-stage shock and impending cardiovascular collapse or death without the aid of fluoroscopy for delivery or balloon inflation.

An improved collectibles page for the storage and display of collectibles such as coins, sports cards, currency or business cards can be created by adding a flap to the front sheet of the page and corresponding slots to the back sheet of the page. These improvements allow for the retention of the collectibles within the collectibles page as well as providing an additional level of security against theft. These modifications can be implemented with minimal cost, providing product differentiation for the manufacturer while adding value to the collector. Adding these features involves altering the tooling used to create the collectibles page but does not add any additional materials or process steps.

A bandage with an insertable medical data card consisting of a bandage with a central pocket, a slit for accessing the pocket, a flap for sealing the pocket, and a transparent faceplate on the pocket. The medical data card contains pertinent medical data of a user adapted to be inserted into the pocket of the bandage and the bandage worn upon the body of the user. The bandage is changeable every three to four days and the medical data card can be transferred from one bandage to another. The system provides a wearable medical data card which instantly informs first responders and medical caregivers of the user's pertinent medical information, saving precious time while life saving measures based on the pertinent medical information gleaned from the medical data card are being implemented.
